<div class=md-content data-md-component=content> <article class="md-content__inner md-typeset"> <h1 id=live-tracking>Live Tracking</h1> <p>With this open source <strong>live tracking</strong> software you can record and analyze data in <strong>real time</strong>. You have full control over the data, because the software runs on your own server. You are able to track your time elapsed, distance, speed and elevation in real time. And if you have any <strong>ANT+</strong> or <strong>Bluetooth</strong> sensors, this data can also be transmitted. Optimized for easy use.</p> <h2 id=input>Input</h2> <p>With the Android app <a href=http://www.iforpowell.com/ >IpBike</a> you can transfer your data in real time. Deposit your access data in <code>Settings</code> > <code>Upload settings</code> > <code>Custom livetracking settings</code>. The app supports ANT+ and Bluetooth sensors. You can transfer your speed, heart rate, cadence and power as well as the GPS coordinates.</p> <p><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iforpowell.android.ipbike"><img alt="Google Play Store" src=img/google-play-badge.png></a></p> <h2 id=output>Output</h2> <p>This software is very much based on <a href=https://www.influxdata.com/ >InfluxDB</a>. So you have all the advantages of a <strong>very fast time series database</strong>. It aims to answer queries in real-time. Each user comes with his own InfluxDB database for live tracking. Only you as an owner can write to the database. Currently you can save 8 hours of data.</p> <p>Your profile is always public, your friends can view your data at the following URL: <code>https://your-domain.local/watch/YOUR-USERNAME</code></p> <p><a href=https://youtu.be/HeffZvu_Zh0/ ><img alt=Screenshot src=img/screenshot.png></a></p> <p><strong><em>(Click the image to watch a demo video)</em></strong></p> <p>Because you have your own InfluxDB database, you can also use other evaluation programs. A popular program is e.g. <a href=http://docs.grafana.org/features/datasources/influxdb/ >Grafana</a>. Use the URL <code>https://your-domain.local</code> and the database name <code>YOUR-USERNAME</code>.</p> <h2 id=features>Features</h2> <ul> <li>Built-in HTTP API so you don't have to write any server side code to get up and running.</li> <li>SQL-like query language.</li> <li>Get data fast in and out.</li> <li>It aims to answer queries in real-time. That means every data point is indexed as it comes in and is immediately available in queries that should return in < 100ms.</li> </ul> <h2 id=requirements>Requirements</h2> <ul> <li><a href=http://php.net/ >PHP 7</a> and <a href=https://getcomposer.org/ >Composer</a></li> <li><a href=https://www.lighttpd.net/ >Lighttpd</a> or another web server</li> <li><a href=https://www.influxdata.com/products/influxdb-overview/ >InfluxDB</a></li> <li><a href=https://www.sqlite.org/ >SQLite</a></li> </ul> <h2 id=developers-welcome>Developers Welcome</h2> <p>You can use this software as the back end for live tracking. It is very easy to integrate into existing apps. The back end is coded in PHP. Data is stored in a SQLite and InfuxDB database. The transfer is done via an HTTP API. You will find more details in the <a href=Getting-started.html>API documentation</a>.</p> <p><a href=https://github.com/livetracking><img alt=GitHub src=img/github.png></a></p> </article> </div> </div> </main> <footer class=md-footer> <nav class="md-footer__inner md-grid" aria-label=Footer> <a href=Install.html class="md-footer__link md-footer__link--next" aria-label="Next: Installation" rel=next> <div class=md-footer__title> <div class=md-ellipsis> <span class=md-footer__direction> Next </span> Installation </div> </div> <div class="md-footer__button md-icon"> <svg xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg viewbox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M4 11v2h12l-5.5 5.5 1.42 1.42L19.84 12l-7.92-7.92L10.5 5.5 16 11H4Z"/></svg> </div> </a> </nav> <div class="md-footer-meta md-typeset"> <div class="md-footer-meta__inner md-grid"> <div class=md-copyright> Made with <a href=https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/ target=_blank rel=noopener> Material for MkDocs </a> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> <div class=md-dialog data-md-component=dialog> <div class="md-dialog__inner md-typeset"></div> </div> <script id=__config type=application/json>{"base": ".", "features": [], "search": "assets/javascripts/workers/search.16e2a7d4.min.js", "translations": {"clipboard.copied": "Copied to clipboard", "clipboard.copy": "Copy to clipboard", "search.config.lang": "en", "search.config.pipeline": "trimmer, stopWordFilter", "search.config.separator": "[\\s\\-]+", "search.placeholder": "Search", "search.result.more.one": "1 more on this page", "search.result.more.other": "# more on this page", "search.result.none": "No matching documents", "search.result.one": "1 matching document", "search.result.other": "# matching documents", "search.result.placeholder": "Type to start searching", "search.result.term.missing": "Missing", "select.version.title": "Select version"}}</script> <script src=assets/javascripts/bundle.8492ddcf.min.js></script> </body> </html>
